Within the combined up world of far-left MSNBC, the actual risk of violence at an abortion clinic shouldn’t be from the physician performing the ugly killing, however from pro-life activists picketing or praying exterior. Throughout a minimum of two exhibits on Monday, MSNBC hosts and company had full blown meltdowns over Texas’s new regulation proscribing abortions and smeared pro-life activists as violent extremists terrorizing weak ladies.
On Deadline:White Home at all times rational host Nicolle Wallace whined like a teen who simply acquired grounded. “There are ladies in Texas at the moment who really feel like their lives are over,” Wallace wailed.
“I simply assume we won’t lose sight in our political evaluation of the every day hell now that’s any lady who does not have this alternative obtainable to her,” she moaned, including that each lady is Texas is now “a sufferer.”
Her visitor, MSNBC authorized analyst Matthew Miller, hailed the Division of Justice touting how they’d not “tolerate violence” in opposition to anybody searching for an abortion in Texas. He insisted that this was a routine incidence: “And it is essential that the division mentioned that as a result of each time this problem is within the information, the specter of violence does sadly rise at clinics and the division has an obligation to police that.”
This “risk” is overstated, to place it bluntly. In keeping with the pro-abortion Nationwide Abortion Federation’s newest report, there have solely been 11 folks which have been killed in assaults at abortion clinics since 1977. Distinction that with the 600,000+ infants killed in abortion on this nation, yearly.
Wallace and her company ended the phase encouraging radical measures to fight the regulation corresponding to “reforming the courtroom” (ie: courtroom packing) and “reforming the filibuster” (ie: do away with it.).
That activism and hand-wringing evaluation was repeated on MSNBC Experiences throughout the 7pm hour.
Civil rights lawyer and MSNBC visitor Nancy Erika Smith misplaced it over the regulation, resorting to smears and different falsehoods to tear down conservatives.
…Biden and the Democrats have to right away repair the Supreme Court docket. They — the Republicans stole a seat, Gorsuch is up sitting there — from Obama. They put Amy Coney Barrett there throughout, throughout an election. Voting had really began. And Kavanaugh, an accused rapist — credibly accused rapist, they’ve packed the courtroom. And we have now to repair it. We’ve got a radical Supreme Court docket beholden to very right-wing idealogues. The concept they’d let this regulation sit there and never cease it’s outrageous.
That’s when Smith in contrast pro-life residents to the KKK searching down run-away slaves: “It’s very similar to the Ku Klux Klan act stopped catching slaves in free states after the Dred Scott determination. Bounty hunters have been allowed to enter free states and steal slaves again and convey them again to the South,” she said earlier than melting down once more on the “ruthless” conservatives:
We have to struggle this as arduous as we are able to as a result of these individuals are ruthless and they’re going to do something. When you’ve got been close to an abortion clinic just lately, and I’ve, it’s so abusive to ladies what is occurring there. They’d vivid lights out the minute this turned regulation on September 1st. Wanting into ladies’s automobiles. How have you learnt how pregnant a lady is, by the way in which? Most girls do not know they’re pregnant by six weeks. However how have you learnt that? Does the regulation give them the appropriate to violate HIPPA and get ladies’s medical information?
Fellow visitor, The New Yorker’s Irin Carmon additionally hyped the specter of violent pro-life activists being an actual concern now.
And at these clinics, everyone knows that each time abortion is kind of within the public eye, it is a every day actuality at clinics that may at all times worsen, the violence and the intimidation exterior of clinics accelerates. It’s already–I’ve reported at many, many abortion clinics. It’s already a scary scenario to stroll in. The people are simply — ladies and different people who find themselves getting abortions are simply attempting to get their medical care. And they’re screamed at. There are expletives, threats of violence…
The media is consistently attempting to tarnish anybody on the appropriate as a violent extremist, with none foundation, whereas they ignore blatant violence from the left. To not point out, the irony of worrying about violence outside a murder clinic is misplaced on them.

NICOLLE WALLACE: Two, what do you make of the small step that the Justice Division mentioned it could take at the moment? I am going to put up the headline. Principally saying it is not going to tolerate violence in opposition to anybody who’s attempting to acquire an abortion in Texas.
MATTHEW MILLER: …With respect to the Division of Justice, the assertion they put out at the moment was a heartening one and an essential one, nevertheless it actually associated to bodily violence with folks attempting to bodily stop folks from accessing their constitutional proper to an abortion by stopping them from going right into a clinic. And it is essential that the division mentioned that as a result of each time this problem is within the information, the specter of violence does sadly rise at clinics and the division has an obligation to police that.
WALLACE: I simply assume it is so disheartening for the ladies of Texas to attend for that course of…
…..
WALLACE: You recognize, Alexi, to your level about Trumpism, this actually is the twice impeached, disgraced ex-president kind of rising from the political grave and having his method with American life in 2021, as a result of the fact is, whether or not we concentrate on the long run and Justice Breyer, and I am certain Claire represents the overwhelming majority of the views of Democrats or pursue Matt’s path which is litigation, there are ladies in Texas at the moment who really feel like their lives are over, and let’s say it, some males, too. Not all ladies searching for abortion are victims of incest and rape. Ladies have a proper to an abortion even when these tragedies will not be what has come to go. That’s now not the case for 85% of ladies searching for abortions in Texas. What occurs right here and now for them?
ALEXI MCCAMMOND: It is a horrifying actuality, as you mentioned, their lives have fully modified nearly in a single day. And I feel that is an essential level to underscore, Nicolle. Lots of ladies who search abortions aren’t essentially in these tragic, harrowing conditions as some are the place it is a case of incest or rape. Some ladies are attempting to make what they take into account to be a accountable, sensible, monetary determination, life determination, a call with their associate and their physician that they agonized over to get there. So it is not at all times these excessive conditions the place individuals are pressured into these selections to make, you understand, to get an abortion. And I feel your level is correct, Nicolle, that that is now treating abortion or entry to well being care as against the law. Not as a basic proper that ladies are afforded any longer within the state of Texas, probably transferring ahead within the state of Mississippi and I feel that is the place you are going to see plenty of these political fights play out within the coming years too, with a concentrate on well being care. Democrats have persistently tried to develop entry to well being care, to decrease well being care prices. Whereas Republicans, after all, have tried to strike down the ACA, they tried to depart of us with pre-existing circumstances out to dry with none protection, and we’re seeing how they’re proscribing ladies from accessing well being care differently in states the place they’re made to really feel lower than.
WALLACE: Matt, what’s opaque to us by way of what may be occurring on the Justice Division that may hearten of us who’re feeling determined and disheartened by this determination?
…
MILLER: …Justice Breyer ought to retire now whereas there’s nonetheless a democratic majority within the senate, and Democrats within the Senate, both this time period or the subsequent time we have now unified management of presidency, ought to look to reform the Supreme Court docket and reform the filibuster to ensure {that a} lady’s proper to decide on, which has been Constitutional regulation for 50 years now, is upheld, as a result of the whole lot else that we discuss in the end could be struck down by the Supreme Court docket majority, and I believe can be except we’re not simply principled however sensible and strategic with how we strategy the difficulty.
WALLACE: I feel that is the underside line, and I simply assume we won’t lose sight in our political evaluation of the every day hell now that’s any lady who does not have this alternative obtainable to her, and naturally, most tragically, younger victims of incest or rape. However each lady in Texas is the sufferer, of all that.

YASMIN VOSSOUGHIAN: Can all of us however assume at this level we all know how the vote rely will fall contemplating the choice made on this Texas regulation?
CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER NANCY ERIKA SMITH: Sure. That is why Biden and the Democrats have to right away repair the Supreme Court docket. They — the Republicans stole a seat, Gorsuch is up sitting there — from Obama. They put Amy Coney Barrett there throughout, throughout an election. Voting had really began. And Kavanaugh, an accused rapist — credibly accused rapist, they’ve packed the courtroom. And we have now to repair it. We’ve got a radical Supreme Court docket beholden to very right-wing idealogues. The concept they’d let this regulation sit there and never cease it’s outrageous.
The bulk mentioned it was novel and complicated. It is not novel or complicated. It is very similar to the Ku Klux Klan act stopped catching slaves in free states after the Dred Scott determination. Bounty hunters have been allowed to enter free states and steal slaves again and convey them again to the South. And after the Civil Warfare our Congress handed the Ku Klux Klan act, which supplies you a proper to sue people who act underneath a colour of state regulation to violate the rights of others. That is precisely what is occurring right here. It is not complicated. And the Supreme Court docket has dominated twice that that’s performing underneath colour of state regulation if the state regulation provides personal rights of motion that provide help to violate different residents’ rights. So it is actually an outrageous determination and it’s a lie that it’s complicated or novel. It’s type’ve novel that they’re utilizing it for abortion. However even in 1973, the Supreme Court docket dominated that the state cannot delegate veto energy over abortions to people. So it isn’t that novel. It simply exhibits how far right-wing the Supreme Court docket has come.
VOSSOUGHIAN: Other than fixing the Supreme Court docket, as you set it, Nancy, how do you problem this Texas regulation?
SMITH: Properly, since they stopped a listening to that was alleged to happen at the moment — I do not know the way you cease these radical — I feel, nicely, thank God we have now Garland within the Division of Justice. We’ve got to criminally prosecute underneath the FACE Act, which is an act that protects ladies’s rights to really go to an abortion supplier and get medical look after reproductive selections which are alleged to be personal. So the FACE Act needs to be very, very vigorously enforced. And entities that go into courtroom and attempt to cease suppliers and Uber drivers and family and friends who help a ladies’s proper to make her personal medical selections — they need to be criminally charged underneath the FACE Act, not simply civilly. We have to struggle this as arduous as we are able to as a result of these individuals are ruthless and they’re going to do something. When you’ve got been close to an abortion clinic just lately, and I’ve, it’s so abusive to ladies what is occurring there. They’d vivid lights out the minute this turned regulation on September 1st. Wanting into ladies’s automobiles. How have you learnt how pregnant a lady is, by the way in which? Most girls do not know they’re pregnant by six weeks. However how have you learnt that? Does the regulation give them the appropriate to violate HIPPA and get ladies’s medical information? As was identified in that great piece, these are individuals who say you possibly can’t drive me to put on a masks to cease a pandemic. So it is very troublesome how we’re going to repair this.
IRIN CARMON: … And at these clinics, everyone knows that each time abortion is kind of within the public eye, it is a every day actuality at clinics that may at all times worsen, the violence and the intimidation exterior of clinics accelerates.
It’s already–I’ve reported at many, many abortion clinics. It’s already a scary scenario to stroll in. The people are simply — ladies and different people who find themselves getting abortions are simply attempting to get their medical care. And they’re screamed at. There are expletives, threats of violence. To the extent that imposing the FACE Act will defend abortion sufferers in different states, that is nice. It will not make a distinction to the truth that you can not get an abortion at a clinic after six weeks in Texas.
